I was there as 20% of a panel speaking on creating funny web content. My fellow panelists, left-to-right: Jeff Rubin, Executive Editor, CollegeHumor (collegehumor.com) |

I made plans to hang out later with John, Kris and Rob DenBleyker (also from Cyanide and Happiness). Picture: The Legos. |
On the way upstairs to hear John's interview, we ran into Drew Curtis from Fark. He was surprisingly good at charades. |
